EVERY FEW MONTHS
Throat Plate must be removed monthly for cleaning, ensure it is refitted correctly –
failure to do this could result in a partial blockage of the flue.
Doors should be checked for positive closure against the seals.
Seals check to make sure the seals are secure, free from damage and not brittle. Your
local stove shop should be able to supply replacement rope seal and glue, alternatively
they can be ordered through our online spares shop. All our door seals have a diameter
of 14mm for fire box doors and 10mm for oven doors.
ANNUALLY
The chimney should be swept at least once a year, before the winter season. With the
correct flue brushes and rods all our stoves can be swept through the fire box, when
the chimney is lined, unless a rear horizontal adaptor is used (see Section 3, Chimney
and Access for sweeping). In unlined chimneys it is not possible to sweep through the
cooker models and additional access is required as described in the installation section.
We recommend using an experienced and qualified sweep. Extra flexible rods with the
appropriate size brushes should only be used with flexible stainless steel liners. The use
of incorrect rods can damage your flue.
If the stove is left for long periods without use, i.e. over the summer, it is advisable
to clean the stove thoroughly and leave all the vents open. This will help prevent any
build-up of condensation and allow the stove to keep dry and limit internal corrosion.
The whole system should be checked after any prolonged period of inactivity to ensure
that it is free from blockage.
Note: The appliance should be regularly maintained by a competent engineer.

5. Maintenance
5.a Routine Checks and Cleaning
Ash pan should be emptied daily when using smokeless fuel, if this is done while the
stove is still warm, use glove and tool provided. Ensure hot ashes are disposed of safely.
AS REQUIRED
Stove surface should be cleaned with a soft brush or lint free cloth when cold, some
people use a vacuum cleaner attachment.
Glass cleaning should be done when cold. There are proprietary stove glass cleaners
available, however a paste made from wood ash and water is very eective (or dip a
damp cloth/kitchen roll into the wood ash). For stubborn carbon deposit fine grade
wire wool can be used..
